Also kids lost interest in many of the arcade type games in favor of games they had on their devices instead. It started out being popular and then fizzled out. Even with updated games it would have failed. I enjoyed it because of nostalgia for games I grew up with but that wasnt enough of a draw to take away my valuable park time that I had paid good $$ for.
It wasn’t exactly a failure. The NBA experience was. The Star Wars hotel was.
I never stepped inside DisneyQuest, but did the Star Wars thing at The Void twice, because it was totally awesome. I don’t even remember what it cost, because I thought it was that
If it was truly a failure they would not have allowed it to operate for almost 20 years. The regional entertainment concept was a failure, the Chicago location was a failure, but the Orlando location did fine.
Glad I did both..The layout was the same albeit some things shifted here and there. But, it was something to do when you had nothing else to do at DTD..
…the one at DAKL is my favorite.
Yep, it was just killed do to neglect at Orlando. We used to spend at least a half day or so there when a day was filled with thunderstorms...but toward the end it was nearly impossible to find a single game that functioned properly. I worked in an arcade when I was in high school and I remember even in the arcades that weren't all that busy you needed to regularly replace button and controls on the machines because they weren't made to last forever.... Disney however seemed to think they never needed service. Which was sad because a lot of those games had buttons and controls that were very easy to swap out and they could have easily kept the machine working perfectly if they had only hired a single person to maintain them.

BarCade's seem to be the thing now..Which is why I have mentioned it should be themed to Wreck-it-Ralph's Game Central Station..
